Testing Data in the U.S.

Tests for COVID-19

• Viral tests tell you if you currently have an infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. A positive test result means you have an infection.

• For more information on viral tests for COVID-19, see our Viral Testing page. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/diagnostic-testing.html

• Antibody blood tests, also called antibody tests, check your blood by looking for antibodies, which show if you had a previous infection with the virus.
